What to do in Kardamena and surroundings?

If you don´t really enjoy bathing in the sea too much, you can make use of the public swimming pools close to bars or other refreshment facilities, or visit a new water park few kilometres away from Kardamena. Those who prefer activities on dryland will be delighted by the go-kart track near the resort, or horse riding. The resort has many tavernas and restaurants, most of them offering fish and seafood. There is also a wide variety of shops. Those of a more adventurous nature or those who simply get weary of idling on the beach can set off for a trip to the surroundings, e.g. to the little island of Nisyros you can see from the coast of Kardamena. It is a geological formation that was formed by volcanic activity, in fact it has a volcano on it, and so is a bit mysterious. The volcano is extinct but still you will feel some respect for the mother nature when descending to its interior.
